Contents Overview
There are many steps to getting your NetWare® 4.11 server installed and operating with client workstations on a network. A diagram outlining the process is shown under the heading Installation Process Diagram
Begin by reading Chapter 1, Prepare to Install to plan your network and prepare your equipment for installation. If necessary, read Guide to NetWare 4 Networks to plan your Novell Directory tree.
Next, install a new NetWare 4.11 server by following the installation procedures in Chapter 2, Simple Installation or Chapter 3, Custom Installation or, for an OS/2 network, see Chapter 4, Install NetWare Server for OS/2
You can also perform other installation options such as installing NetWare 4.11 clients or creating NetWare 4.11 client diskettes. Procedures for performing other installation options are included at the beginning of Chapter 3 and at the end of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
Finally, administer the NetWare 4.11 network by reading Supervising the Network, which is available online.
NOTE: To set up or maintain a network in the NetWare Enhanced Security configuration (the Class C2 evaluated configuration), you must supplement the information in this manual with the information in NetWare Enhanced Security Server, NetWare Enhanced Security Administration, Security Features User Guide, and Auditing the Network. All of these manuals are part of the online documentation collection that came with your software.
Installation Options
You can install a NetWare 4.11 server using either the simple installation or custom installation option.
The simple installation is both quicker and easier to perform than the custom installation.
The custom installation option makes no assumptions and lets you customize your server installation. Additional options, such as spanning volumes across multiple drives and loading and binding TCP/IP and AppleTalk, are available only in the custom installation option.
Procedures for installing using the simple installation are found in Chapter 2, Simple Installation
Procedures for installing using the custom installation are found in Chapter 3, Custom Installation
